The 1918 Championship was held in Annapolis, where Navy won on the home waters of the Severn. The following year, Navy recorded an undefeated sea- son en route to the championship in 1919. That same year, the lightweights debuted as Coach Glendon also brought a lightweight crew to the 1919 Championship, marking the first time that Navy competed in Lightweight crew. This first Navy Lights shell defeated Pennsylvania to win its inaugural race. 1920’s A year later, the championship regatta returned to Poughkeepsie. The 1920 Varsity suffered its only loss of the season there, to Syracuse, but rebounded to defeat the Orangemen in the National Regatta in Worcester, Mass., thus earning the right to represent the United States in the 1920 Olympics in Belgium.

Do they recommend any other collections/historical societies/archives? ● Website design ideas ○ Intended audience: Faculty/scholars, graduate students, undergraduate ​ ​ ​ students (or enthusiasts) interested in Philippine history or conducting research on Philippine history under the American period ○ Goal: to provide an easily accessible, user­friendly web layout for such ​ ​ ​ individuals to find Philippine sources in the state of Michigan (and other states mentioned in the work plan and learning objectives). Less­studied/under­utilized sources will be highlighted in the research guide to make it easier for such individuals to conduct research. ○ Ideas: ■ Some sort of map layout → state by state basis, zoom in and out feature, ability to use tags to find relevant docs. (ex. “women’s history”, “1950’s”, “U.S.­Philippine relations”), basic map with list of states underneath (more user­friendly) ■ Simple list feature with tabs → Sort by state, then location/collection, then documents, sort of time period and topic of history ■ Complications could involve whether or not to include previews of docs.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.
